Leaderee Registration Now Open

Take a break from your troop duties to enjoy two fun-filled days packed with engaging classes, delicious food and the company of fellow leaders who understand the joys and challenges of your role. Leave Leaderee feeling energized, connected and ready to lead your Girl Scouts to new heights in the coming year. Learn more about Leaderee and register today! 

Don’t let finances keep you from attending. Apply for the Ed Whitmire Scholarship by July 31.

Summer Scavenger Hunt Activity

Take advantage of the sunshine and explore the beauty of nature this summer! We are kicking off an outdoor scavenger hunt that will run through September 10, giving girls the opportunity to explore the world outside in new and exciting ways. From creating outdoor art to identifying plants to taking photos, girls can check off items on the scavenger hunt list, and once complete, receive a prize for all their hard work*.

Girls can complete the scavenger hunt on their own or with friends. To get started and to receive the official scavenger hunt guide, all girls must complete this form.

*Prizes can be picked up at one of our four service center locations during regular store hours.

New STEM Van Hits the Road Soon

Thank you to Piedmont Natural Gas and the Duke Energy Foundation for the generous support and gift of $8500 for the wrapping and future interior upfit of our new GSCP2P STEM Van. This van will allow us to bring STEM to girls in all parts of our council and we can’t wait to hit the road! Stay tuned for more details once our interior upfit is complete.

Don’t Miss out on Summer Camp

It has been a wildly fun summer so far- and our first session of summer camp at Camp Ginger Cascades kicks off this week! We still have some spots available for our summer camp programs  and we can’t wait for you to join us! All of our overnight campers in grades 6 and up will get to enjoy field trips related to their camp program’s theme. If your girl would like to stay close to home, we are also hosting an Equine Experience Day Camp at our Circle C Equestrian Center in Sophia for all girls in grades 2-5!
